Doesn't that mean that if I tap into the power from that light the switch on the control panel will need to be on? It seems that wouldn't be the best thing if we're dry camping. Am I correct?
Thanks!

Not knowing the layout, I can't explain the reasoning. I know with one trailer we had, the cabinet with the power center was just inside the front door (such that you could access it without fully entering the trailer), so having the light switches in the same cabinet kinda, sorta, made sense.
Yes, if you tap into a light that is controlled by a switch, that switch will need to be on in order to run the fan. Depending on the layout, it may be better to snake some 12V wiring through the roof to your 12V fuse box.
